Social Bookmarking
is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren't shared, merely bookmarks that reference them. -Wikipedia
Why do we use it in edu?
1. Creates a central, web accessible location for resources to share with faculty, staff, peers, family, etc.
2. Tagging makes your favorites sortable, searchable and organized
3. Connecting to other users expands increases your ability to find information in the deeper parts of the web
